More work at Scioto Audubon

Metro Parks is spending more money to develop the Scioto Audubon Metro Park south of
Downtown.

The park district is paying R.W. Setterlin $574,310 to build a restroom, shelters, concrete
walkways and install electric, water and sewer systems.

It also will spend $88,200 for an 80-car parking lot and 1,200 feet of paved trails, as work
continues to redevelop the area that used to be the city's impound lot.

An obstacle course is coming, Metro Parks executive director John O'Meara said. A year ago,
young professionals who were surveyed came up with ideas such as a velodrome (bicycle racing!) and
an outdoor ballroom.
